Facebook and The Art of Not Being



So, I'm kind of new to the whole blog thing but I highly doubt this blog would reach any sort of "status" or anything, because there's, what, at least five blogs on the internet? Maybe six. So, if I'm the seventh blog, I probably won't get that popular. I'm guessing there's more. Something over a million.
   The point is why should I care? I mean, really care about my popularity on a website? I have nothing to offer in that regard. There are people who are wonderfully talented, the type of people who should have made movies in the 1930's, or helped build the first airplanes, or write a president's speech, but even they will get 5000 subscribers tops on youtube. It's just a losing battle. And again, why should I care? I hate that I care that people read this. I pretend I don't, and I don't really, but that "really" is the key to this whole blog: it means I do. It's like telling a woman, "Oh, I'm not a fan of (insert questionable pastime)...really."
   
So, I went through Facebook news and saw all the happenings, and it depressed me so because everybody posts the best stuff on facebook, except for whiny fifteen year olds who post the best worst stuff.
    Here's a photo of Ashton Kutcher on myspace, the pre-Buzzfeed Buzzfeed.


Cheers.
